The Chile Magallanes Region Coal Gasification Reverse Trade Mission is designed to engage the Chilean delegation with U.S. companies, U.S. Government agencies, and other organizations to showcase technologies and best practices for coal gasification. The visit will provide an opportunity for the delegates to discuss a major coal gasification project in southern Chile with interested U.S. companies and prospective investors and financiers and advance the dialogue on key project development and procurement issues. The delegation will be comprised of Mina Invierno, a Chilean coal mining company that is developing a coal gasification facility, as well as other key private and public sector stakeholders.

A business briefing and financing roundtable will be held on June 11 at USTDA's headquarters in Arlington, VA to introduce the Chilean delegation to a variety of U.S. Companies active in the industry.
